School Children & Adolescents

Service Description

Resolve issues related with school children and adolescents. Book this counselling session for your child. School children need help for academic and behavioural issues. Study related issues may be due to Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder(ADHD), learning disabilities or dyslexia. Performance anxiety, and difficulty in concentration, comprehension and retention of learned topics are most prevalent. School children often spend a lot of time with mobiles, playing games thereby wasting precious time for studies. In all these issues the counsellor helps the student and parents to understand and cope up with the difficulty. Psychological issues are anxiety and stress with underlying depression. Bullying is one of the major issues that create emotional disturbance in children. Social anxiety too plays a major role when the student is unable to make friends or take part in group activity like sports or cultural events. Behaviour related issues are anger, aggression, being argumentative and non-compliance to the discipline. In other words, the issue is known as oppositional defiant disorder. Adolescents have all the above issues along with identity crisis, relationship problems, gender confusion, alcohol or substance abuse, online games, social media exposure, eating disorders and general anxiety disorder with stress. Adolescents also suffer from loneliness, mood swings and laziness to conform to the discipline at home and school. Counselling can help in guiding the child and the adolescent to understand and accept the problem of the student and adolescent and not dismiss it as irrelevant. If needed the counsellor will discuss the issues with parents or any other family member who is close to the student to understand the issues and take help from the person. Next step will be to make them calm, relaxed and instil hope and faith in their own powers to face and overcome the situation. Third, certain coping up skills will be taught for daily practice. Thereafter regular follow up by the counsellor will be done to monitor the progress and guide the student and adolescent till full recovery is made.
